Its not a prime, but I got a super sharp copy. I read an article comparing its sharpness with the 50mm 1.4, and I was sold. Lots of people around here like it too. Curthttp://www.opticalsupports.com

Good lens, very versatile. So you're not stepping on *my* toes (though I must admit I prefer primes for portraits).

Fast aperture is useful for very limited (shallow) DOF when needed. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
